Product liability claims can be devastating to product manufacturers and sellers.
Warner's product liability attorneys recognize that effective product liability counsel means much more than simply reacting to litigation. A substantial portion of our practice is devoted to taking proactive measures to minimize risk and avoid claims.
Warner's product liability practice group has broad experience in representing national companies in product liability lawsuits. Our group is made up of seasoned trial attorneys who are ready to aggressively defend product claims in any court or forum. Realizing that protracted legal battles can be disruptive, time-consuming and expensive, however, we first counsel our clients in ways to avoid potential claims or to obtain early and efficient resolutions.
The group routinely advises clients regarding product development, product safety policies and procedures, document control, product warnings and instructions, product advertising and recalls. When product litigation arises, we have the experience necessary to defend the case to trial, or explore other practical alternatives such as negotiation, mediation and arbitration.
